I've had a similar argument with a friend of mine about costumes in superhero films. We're expected to believe a human has super powers but they don't think we'd believe the person would wear a colourful costume. So everyone gets crammed into black or dark blue leather onesies.
I can imagine the movie pitching meeting.
"So, this guy can walk on water, time travel and shoot fireballs from his eyes? Yeah, the public will buy that. This red and green outfit and cape? Totally unrealistic. Give him a black leather outfit and bulletproof vest and you've got yourself a movie!"
